Zweigen Kanazawa form and stats

Zweigen Kanazawa have collected 20 points from their J2-League home games so far after 5-5-4.

Rodolfo was the last player to score a league goal for Zweigen Kanazawa and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Kanazawa haven't scored in 180 minutes.

In their previous game, the manager M. Yanagishita led his Kanazawa to a defeat in the J2-League match away at JEF United. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Ishikawa Seibu Ryokuchi Stadium. Preceding that match was the home game against Jubilo Iwata that was lost 0-1.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Kanazawa have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 14 matches with the results: Won six, drawn six and lost two.

The Kanazawa fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 18 in 14 matches. Kanazawa's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 16 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
